Hello, I'm Kaori Tokuoka, the founder of Ori Floral Design.
Before pursuing my floral career, I spent over 25 years in the corporate world, gaining invaluable experience in industries such as luxury hospitality, finance, recruiting, and event planning. My career took me from Tokyo, Japan, to New York, where I worked in fast-paced, high-end environments, including Japan’s top-ranked hotel. In 2022, I moved to Philadelphia, where I fully dedicated myself to floral design, blending my background in hospitality with my artistic passion.
I have worked on large-scale events to intimate gatherings, creating floral designs that reflect both grandeur and subtle beauty. My experience spans across hotels, retail shops in New York and Pennsylvania, and private events, allowing me to cater to a diverse range of styles and client needs.
With my Japanese sensibility, I bring a keen eye for detail, a deep sense of hospitality, and a commitment to crafting designs that evoke beauty and emotion.
I also have knowledge of Japanese Ikebana-style arrangements, incorporating its minimalist elegance and balance into my work when desired.
Whether it's a wedding, a special event, or a bespoke floral installation, I take pride in delivering both stunning designs and an exceptional client experience.
Beyond flowers, I cherish time with my husband, and we share a love for cooking together, exploring new flavors, and creating beautiful meals at home.
Let’s create something truly special together—I’d love the opportunity to bring your vision to life!
